Breeding conditions of porcupine

Porcupine usually adopts the method of semi-scattered feeding, the suitable terrain should be selected to build the farm, and the feed should be allocated according to certain requirements. In addition, the male and female feeding porcupine in the breeding site should be configured according to the proportion of 1:3 or 1:4, so as to promote the growth and reproduction of porcupine.

1. Breeding conditions of porcupine

1, porcupine is generally semi-scattered breeding, generally choose to sit north to the south, good drainage, thick soil layer of hilly land to build farms, the surrounding wall height of about 1-1.2 meters, and to install a good iron door for breeders to enter.

2. The area of the site is determined according to the designed species of porcupine. The male-female ratio of porcupine is the most suitable at 1:3 or 1:4.

3. Under wild conditions, porcupine likes to eat corn, wheat, rice, green vegetables and other crops, and its digestive ability is relatively strong, so when feeding porcupine, in addition to the feed described above, you can also put in some squirrel roots, holly branches and so on.

4. The total amount of porcupine feed is best if there is a little surplus after eating every night, and all the remaining feed should be cleared out the next day.

Matters needing attention in porcupine breeding

1. Feed quality

(1) Porcupine mainly takes grass plants as the main food, so in the process of porcupine breeding, many people will feed the porcupine with grass feed, and many people will choose to cook the grass before feeding the porcupine.

(2) but the nutrition of the cooked grass is not as good as the original feed, and it is very easy to cause porcupine food poisoning.

(3) so when feeding porcupine, the feed must not be cooked, as long as it is mashed.

(4) it should be noted that porcupines should not be fed moldy food and unhygienic feed.

(6) the grass feed must be fresh grass picked on the same day, otherwise it is likely to cause porcupine poisoning.

2. Feed feeding

(1) there are many people who raise porcupine will blindly feed the porcupine with green feed, although the green feed is more suitable for the growth of porcupine, but its nutrients are not very comprehensive.

(2) when feeding, we must not only feed the green feed, and the feed should not be too much, especially for the cubs.

(3) because the digestive system of porcupine is not fully formed and grass feed contains a lot of water, excessive feeding of grass feed will lead to diarrhea of porcupine and even cause some other gastrointestinal diseases.

3. Emergency measures

(1) in the process of raising porcupine, factors such as feed pig houses can be artificially controlled, but some weather conditions are difficult for us to predict, so we have to take corresponding emergency measures according to each different weather.

(2) if in early spring, the temperature has not fully recovered, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so we should do a good job of cold prevention and heat preservation for porcupines in time.

(3) in the hot and dry weather in summer, it is necessary to do a good job of cooling and replenishing water to ensure that the temperature in the pigsty does not exceed 32 ℃. If the temperature is too high, the porcupine may have heatstroke.

(4) it is easy to blow cold wind and low temperature in autumn, so it is necessary to take preventive measures to prevent porcupine catching cold.
